#Decriminalize #Drug #Use. Do It Now

In order to address the root causes of rising overdose and homelessness rates, policymakers, elected officials, and funders need to stop investing in strategies that focus on criminalization and punishment.

In the latest attack on people who use drugs, San Francisco’s mayor, London Breed, advocates for requiring substance abuse screening and treatment for low-income residents to be eligible for welfare funds.

@skrrp -- As a person that believes that drug use and addiction are not criminal issues for law enforcement and should all be decriminalized, who the fuck cares? *shrug*
You're still using unjust laws to punish people.
Focus on who gets "healthcare" and who gets "law enforcement".
Basically, the same result of your message, without the seemingly Puritanical stance on the drugs, casual recreational use of drugs, and addiction. #decriminalize
